Did CM Punk get into a real fight before Men’s Survivor Series: WarGames match? The Truth disclosed

CM Punk made his in-ring return at Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 for the first time since defeating Drew McIntyre inside the punishing Hell in a Cell structure, capping off their trilogy of matches. The show went off-air with Roman Reigns’ Bloodline, alongside Punk, standing tall after an exceptional victory.

The high-stakes match thrilled fans, as the men involved in the contest pulled off some risky moves to help their team triumph. Even before the match started, while Punk was making his entrance, he shoved Bronson Reed while he was in a cage. This angered The Auszilla, who attempted to catch Punk. This led the Stamford-based promotion to cut the screen to black momentarily, which made the segment appear unscripted.

After this incident, many fans wondered whether CM Punk and Bronson Reed got into real conflict before the Men’s WarGames match began. The answer is No. Reed and Punk are good friends behind the scenes and were simply being in character. Their fight ahead of the match was just part of the storyline and had the desired impact on the fans.

What’s next for CM Punk after Survivor Series 2024?

CM Punk is likely done with The Bloodline saga after Survivor Series 2024. Before leaving, The Best in the World reminded Paul Heyman that he owed him a favor, and when the time was right, he would ask him to repay it.

It seems like CM Punk will move back on Monday Night RAW, and fans might finally see the Punk vs. Seth Rollins feud, which has been long due. They were originally supposed to face each other at WrestleMania 40 before The Second City Saint sustained a real-life injury at Royal Rumble 2024, which sidelined him for a while.

Upon his comeback, Punk got engaged in a rivalry against Drew McIntyre, which came to an end at Bad Blood 2024. However, WWE planted seeds for Punk vs. Rollins during The Best in the World’s last appearance on Monday Night RAW before he went on hiatus. Their feud can potentially lead to a match at WrestleMania 41.
